Hi, I have a recurring item that I also want to have a reminder on both my computer and my iPod. I set it us so that is shows an alert at the proper time and date. I also checked that I would like the item to recur daily. This will work for several days and then suddenly I don't get a reminder anymore. When I check the calendar portion of the program the box for reminder is no longer checked. I didn't set an end date for my recurring item, because it is something I need to remember every day. I don't know how it is unchecking itself, but I'm literally not doing anything but clicking on the box that the task has been completed each day when it is completed.

    I think what may happen is this:

    1. The reminder pops up. The combo box for snooze time is set to "Don't snooze" (or you set it to that value)
    2. You click on the task subject to open the task. Since you don't snooze the reminder and the reminder has just fired, it is reset.
    3. You click the completion date in the dates tab of the task edit dialog or use some other way to mark the task completed.
    4. Task Coach recurs the task, but doesn't set a new reminder since it was reset.

    I'll have to think about a way to have the task remember the reminder date and time, even though it was reset.

    Thanks, Frank

    Earlier, you received a message that we think this bug is fixed and we asked you to confirm it. However, you didn't confirm that this bug is fixed, but you didn't indicate it isn't fixed either. We're going to assume that the bug is fixed for you and that the bug report can be closed. If this is incorrect, feel free to comment on this bug report and we'll reopen it.

    Thanks, Task Coach development team
